how does liquid exert pressure in all directions?
When a liquid is placed in a container, i understand that it exerts pressure on the bottom of the container due to its weight but why does it exert pressure on the sides of the container?
is that due to the fact that the molecules in liquid are free to move in all directions (relatively as compared to a solid)?
this thing is really bugging me and consequently i cannot understand Pascal's law
